APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday January 2, 2009 (MJD 54834) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dan Oravetz Elena Manlanushenko Kaike Pan (swing) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The good conditions for most of night. Segue: We finished plate 3196 (cart 9) and obtained good signal on plate 3127 (cart 2). preMarvels: We finished plate 3044 (cart 4) both A and B fields, and plate 3045 (cart 3) filed A. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ----------- All systems were checked and working properly. The spectro Focus was checked but no adjustment was made. It still set for about 3 C. Engineer crew are working on PT camera, the camera is currently offline. We did a cameraDown mt, not sure if this will turn off the critical alterts emails. 23:35Z started ventilation. Night: ----- 00:10Z enclosure is off Cart 2 plate 3127, segue used FK5 to find the guser stars, but it was right in fiber, it was still very bright that time to see the stars. The guider stars was found. 00:50Z Clouds, cannot see the stars, wait. 01:10Z it is better, we tried to continue 01:15Z preCal, the collimation is a little out. 01:22Z science 1800 01:55Z preCal - to check the collimation, it is better now. 02:06Z science 1800 02:38Z science 1800 03:15 midCalib 03:22 science 1800 03:54 science 1800 04:28 postCalibs sum (s/n)^2 = 80 Continue the observation of this plate Cart 4, plate 3044, pre-marvels 4:46Z field A, used FK5 to find the guider stars 04:56Z preCalibs 05:02 - 5 *20 sec exposures 05:21 gotoFiled B. 05:31 preCalib 05:38 - five 20 sec science exposures This plate is DONE Cart 3, 3045, pre_marvels 06:01Z field A, FSonGTF Seeing is 2.2-2.5" 06:10 preCalibs 06:17 five 20 sec exposures The field A is done, but we need to do the filed B.

Some clouds began to form nearby mountain. Cart 8 plate 3178, segue 10:05 gotoField, the guder stars has been found after clearing of ofsets. 10:22 preCalibs 10:30 science 1800 - clouds during the exposure, could not see the guider stars and finally aborted the exposure. Closed FFS and wait for weather improving. We did not get useful signal for this plate. 11:30 increased the humidity, diff=2.8 and go down. 11:40 enclosure is on. 12:00 it is better but still wet, we desided to close as it is not enough time anymore to do some of exposure. endNight is completed. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7889 23:02Z 23:19Z 100 O 157.45 161.58 41 ignore ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): yes QA Procedures Done (y/n): yes UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 57828, plate -9999 ------- 23:02 57828 0.0 bias ----- sequence 57829, plate 3127 ------- 23:09 57829 10.0 flat 23:11 57830 2.0 arc 23:16 57831 3.0 arc 23:19 57832 3.0 arc ----- sequence 57833, plate -9999 ------- 23:34 57833 0.0 bias 00:01Z 57834 0.0 bias {{}} ----- sequence 57835, plate 3127 ------- 01:18 57835 10.0 flat 01:21 57836 2.0 arc 01:55 57837 1800.0 target 01:58 57838 10.0 flat 02:01 57839 2.0 arc 02:38 57840 1800.0 target 03:11 57841 1801.0 target 03:18 57842 10.0 flat 03:20 57843 2.0 arc 03:54 57844 1801.0 target 04:27 57845 1800.0 target 04:30 57846 10.0 flat 04:32 57847 2.0 arc ----- sequence 57848, plate 3044 ------- 04:58 57848 10.0 flat 05:01 57849 2.0 arc 05:05 57850 21.0 target 05:09 57851 20.0 target 05:12 57852 20.0 target 05:15 57853 20.0 target 05:19 57854 20.0 target 05:34 57855 10.0 flat 05:36 57856 2.0 arc 05:40 57857 21.0 target 05:43 57858 21.0 target 05:50 57859 21.0 target 05:53 57860 21.0 target 05:56 57861 20.0 target ----- sequence 57862, plate 3045 ------- 06:13 57862 10.0 flat 06:16 57863 2.0 arc 06:19 57864 20.0 target 06:23 57865 21.0 target 06:27 57866 20.0 target 06:31 57867 21.0 target 06:36 57868 21.0 target ----- sequence 57869, plate 3196 ------- 06:55 57869 10.0 flat 06:57 57870 2.0 arc 07:32 57871 1801.0 target 08:06 57872 1801.0 target 08:10 57873 10.0 flat 08:12 57874 2.0 arc 08:46 57875 1800.0 target 09:19 57876 1800.0 target 09:52 57877 1800.0 target 09:56 57878 10.0 flat 09:58 57879 2.0 arc ----- sequence 57880, plate 3178 ------- 10:25 57880 10.0 flat 10:28 57881 2.0 arc ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:25Z 2 3127 32.06 0.0023 52.84 -0.0007 206.52 0.0217 1.000050 05:06Z 4 3044 131.26 0.0017 38.83 -0.0038 -96.73 0.0103 1.000110 06:44Z 3 3145 77.19 0.0015 45.46 -0.0034 238.00 0.0339 1.000010 07:15Z 9 3196 70.94 0.0022 51.75 -0.0032 235.28 0.0279 1.000130 10:30Z 8 3178 -4.83 0.0010 75.94 -0.0009 175.72 0.0274 1.000070 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:25Z 2 3127 1.00005 -493 1114 350 32 52.8 2.1 14 235 -- 1.4" 05:06Z 4 3044 1.00011 -1085 497 175 131 38.8 1.6 18 264 -- 1.4" 06:43Z 3 3145 1.00001 -98 1190 75 77 45.2 0.7 13 262 -- 2.5" 07:16Z 9 3196 1.00013 -1283 188 75 71 51.8 1.1 16 263 -- 1.4" 10:30Z 8 3178 1.00007 -690 676 125 -5 75.9 0.3 20 281 -- 1.4" ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 21:57Z 43 1 4 258 (WSW) 182 - 22:29Z 42 5 11 256 (WSW) 229 - 23:01Z 40 4 8 270 (W) 245 - 23:33Z 40 4 7 264 (W) 266 - 00:19Z 36 8 9 241 (WSW) 364 - 00:50Z 36 10 10 248 (WSW) 465 - 01:22Z 36 11 12 242 (WSW) 574 - 01:54Z 35 12 11 229 (SW) 636 - 02:24Z 34 11 16 238 (WSW) 573 - 02:54Z 35 10 14 262 (W) 518 - 03:24Z 35 12 16 259 (W) 375 - 03:54Z 35 19 16 249 (WSW) 427 - 04:25Z 35 22 21 280 (W) 380 - 04:55Z 35 22 21 259 (W) 436 - 05:25Z 34 22 19 259 (W) 349 - 05:55Z 34 23 20 259 (W) 367 - 06:25Z 33 22 12 268 (W) 365 - 06:55Z 33 23 19 263 (W) 331 - 07:25Z 33 24 16 259 (W) 312 - 07:56Z 34 25 14 256 (WSW) 448 - 08:26Z 33 26 16 246 (WSW) 420 - 08:56Z 33 26 22 253 (WSW) 498 - 09:26Z 33 25 16 261 (W) 481 - 09:56Z 33 24 21 266 (W) 453 - 10:26Z 32 24 20 267 (W) 454 - 10:57Z 32 24 16 276 (W) 477 - 11:29Z 31 26 21 288 (WNW) 484 - 11:59Z 31 26 18 274 (W) 477 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 23:35Z - Began ventilation.
